The All new Hyundai Tucson will be launched soon, and Hyundai Malaysia is sure dumping some marketing money to showcase the new Tucson all over, especially locating show units in shopping malls, politely asking potential buyer to wait for it before making any decision to jump ship to the its hottest competitor, which could be the Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5.
The existing Tucson could just be the best selling Hyundai's model in Malaysia, as the brand has not been performing quite well in pushing for a decent sales figure. Being a Korean, it still lack the known reliability from the Japanese, adding the perception of lower used car value, the brand still has a lot to do. Hyundai seems to be lacking in persuading the mass, even with new Sonata and Elantra which is well design and loaded with high specifications. The numbers on the road is still pathetically low. Kia, its brother is slow as well, but it has better looking model. The Fluidic concept of Hyundai is really outdated now.
The rear of the Tucson has always look good, which I personally feel is better than any of its competitors. Again, being a Korean, the front grille is always the questionable portion, which still looks terrible, though a big improvement form 10-15 years Hyundai's models.
This all new Tucson does not seems to get any excitement in the powertrain, as it shall remain the same old same old unit. No downsizing turbo engine here, which could be a good choice, as to remain competitive, it is too risky for Hyundai Malaysia to bring it anything new, especially the turbo unit, which need better-skilled technicians to service. A 2.0-litre engine will soldier on!
Interested? Register yourself at Hyundai's website. The Tucson could be your new car for the upcoming festive season, be it Christmas or Chinese New Year! This could be a nice SUV to share with the family.
